Tribal Women Trained Abroad Join India's Semiconductor Manufacturing Push
The article profiles three women from tribal regions of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh—Poonam Kumari, Priyanka Dhanwar, and Shivani Uikey—who, after studying at Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and undergoing specialized training in Malaysia, now work as machine operators at CG Semi's Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Sanand, Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated commercial production at the plant, praising the women's technical expertise and noting that many were first in their families to obtain passports and travel abroad. The facility is part of India's broader push to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The women described overcoming language barriers through Hindi explanations and practical demonstrations, and expressed pride in their achievements.
